Gita reflection Ch 18 verses 21 & 22

5th December 2024


What is taught in universities and all educational institutions primarily focuses on knowledge concerning varieties, classifications, and divisions based on scientific analysis of differences in characteristics and functions of various subjects. 

This is what is referred to as Rajasic knowledge. However, when one only looks for differences, how can one attain a vision of Oneness? And without unifying knowledge, how can we hope for peace in the world?

Unfortunately, we have deviated from this understanding as well. Tamasic knowledge is unscientific and represents a fanatic perception of the world. Those who possess this type of knowledge cling to a singular idea, ideology, faith, or false conviction, rejecting all others. 

This approach to life is particularly dangerous. A person guided by such knowledge is likely to foster discord, destruction, and disunity among people.
